YCNH

This photo was taken in February in Panama City. These YCNH's had a roost on tree inside the old city. The public would walk right past the tree and the birds would go about their own activities. The photo was taken without cropping or at least 95% of the image is shown. Early morning shot... made my day!

Canon EOS 7D
EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM


Not certain how to include a large version once posted so URL:

Nice clean image. Good light and detail (I think, hard to tell without a large version). FYI...if you post a large version 1200x800, the sight automatically adds the small version. So you would only have to still attach a single image. The large version helps if you're looking for critiques and good shots always look better large anyway. :biggrin:

John,

Great light and pose, I might consider cropping from the left to remove the leaf and branch junction, but not to sure if it would not then be a little tight :toast:

Looks like very good detail & color in this close-up, but large version would confirm this. The Night Herons all seem to be quite tame. Where i am (Toronto) we only get the Black-crowned which also allow close approach.
